We only brought a backpack, cooler + Alexander’s camera. I wrote a previous post about how to pack + travel minimally for a week-long beach vacation and I received great feedback! So here’s another quick post about what we packed for our weekend getaway + why we chose to travel why we do!
2 things to think about while packing:
-
- Maximizing space
- Maximizing items: reuse + rewear
Important Questions Before You Start to Pack:
-
- Where am I going? What will I be doing?
-
- What is the weather going to be like?
-
- What are my essentials?
-
- Can I make a few outfits out of the items I’m bringing?
- Where am I going? If it’s a place where I can buy said item if an emergency happens, do I have to pack it?
Here is what we packed for our two-day mountain getaway:
Her clothes:
1 pair of shorts
1 dress (for the cute farmers market, of course!)
1 pair of leggings (in case the weather quickly changed)
1 tank top
1 long sleeve shirt
1 sweatshirt
Intimates for 2 days
Shoes: 1 pair of trail-running shoes + 1 pair of sandals
His clothes:
1 pair of shorts
2 t-shirts
1 sweatshirt
Boxers for 2 days
Shoes: 1 pair of sandals + 1 pair of hiking boots
Toiletries:
Make-up
Feminine products
2 bottles of 5ml of essential oils
Hair brush
Toothbrushes + paste
Packing together is something my husband + I really enjoy doing. In our culture we are always on the lookout for more + feel safer when we have more with us. I’ve learned that the less I take with the less I worry and the less I take with the more freedom I feel!
I hope this was encouraging and informational. Please comment below with your thoughts + questions!
